You'll have to excuse my ignorance of this stuff.  How do I express the 
following in cp1252?

def test_musical_notes():
     txt = "Is ♬ ♫ ♪ ♩ a melody or just noise?"
     assert slugify(txt) == "Is-a-melody-or-just-noise"
     assert slugify_unicode(txt) == "Is-a-melody-or-just-noise"

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask 
what you can do for our language.
